Although the requirements of Part 11 appear to address operations internal to MYANMAR, in some instances, aircraft registered in MYANMAR will be able to perform aerial work in contiguous states. The Annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation do not specifically address aerial work. Annexes 1 and 6 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation contain a definition of aerial work but the historical background section of the Annex 6, Part II, Foreword, notes that this definition is included so that States will know that the Annex 6 does not address aerial work. Aerial work operations can be carried out outside the boundaries of MYANMAR and it is only practicable that the aircraft must be operated and maintained in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization standards set forth in other parts of MCARs. 2017 \ DCA \ FSD \ MCARs Second Edition 1-D Part 11-Aerial Work CONTENTS PART 11 AERIAL WORK 1 11.1 GENERAL 1 11.1.1.1 Applicability 1 11.1.1.2 Definitions 1 11.1.1.3 Abbreviations 1 11.2 AGRICULTURAL AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS 2 11.2.1 GENERAL 2 11.2.1.1 Applicability 2 11.2.2 CERTIFICATION RULES 2 11.2.2.1 Certificate Required 2 11.2.2.2 Application for Certificate (Operating Permit) 2 11.2.2.3 Amendment of Certificate (Operating Permit) 3 11.2.2.4 Certification Requirements 3 11.2.2.5 Duration of Certificate (Operating Permit) 4 11.2.3 OPERATING RULES 5 11.2.3.1 General 5 11.2.3.2 Carrying of Certificate (Operating Permit) 5 11.2.3.3 Limitations on Private Agricultural Aircraft Operator 5 11.2.3.4 Manner of Dispensing 6 11.2.3.5 Economic Poison Dispensing 6 11.2.3.6 Personnel 6 11.2.3.7 Operations in Controlled Airspace Designated for an Airport 7 11.2.3.8 Operations Over Congested Areas General 7 11.2.3.9 Operations Over Congested Areas Pilots and Aircraft 8 11.2.3.10 Availability of Certificate (Operating Permit) 9 11.2.4 RECORDS AND REPORTS 9 11.2.4.1 Records: Commercial Agricultural Aircraft Operator 9 2017 \ DCA \ FSD \ MCARs Second Edition 1-E Part 11-Aerial Work 11.2.4.2 Change of Address 9 11.2.4.3 Termination of Operations 9 11.3 ROTORCRAFT EXTERNAL LOADS 10 11.3.1 GENERAL 10 11.3.1.1 Applicability 10 11.3.2 CERTIFICATION RULES 10 11.3.2.1 Certificate (Operating Permit) Required 10 11.3.2.2 Duration of Certificate (Operating Permit) 10 11.3.2.3 Application for Certificate Issuance or Renewal 11 11.3.2.4 Requirements for issuance of a Rotorcraft external –Load Operator Certificate 11 11.3.2.5 Rotorcraft 11 11.3.2.6 Personnel 11 11.3.2.7 Amendment of Certificate 12 11.3.2.8 Availability ,Transfer ,and Surrender of Certificate 12 11.3.3 OPERATING RULES AND RELATED REQUIREMENTS 12 11.3.3.1 Operating Rules 12 11.3.3.2 Carriage of Persons 14 11.3.3.3 Crewmember Training ,Currency and Testing Requirements 14 11.3.4 AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS 15 11.3.4.1 Flight Characteristics Requirements 15 11.3.4.2 Structures and Design 16 11.3.4.3 Operating Limitations 16 11.3.4.4 Rotorcraft –Load Combination Flight Manual 17 11.3.5 MARKINGS AND PLACARDS 17 11.3.6 AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION 18 11.4 GLIDER TOWING 19 11.4.1.1 Applicability 19 11.4.1.2 Certificate or Authorisation Required 19 11.4.1.3 Aircraft Requiremets 19 11.4.1.4 Experience and Training Requirements 19 2017 \ DCA \ FSD \ MCARs Second Edition 1-F Part 11-Aerial Work 11.4.1.5 Operating Rules 21 11.5 BANNER TOWING 22 11.5.1.1 Applicability 22 11.5.1.2 Certificate or Authorisation Required 22 11.5.1.3 Aircraft requirement 22 11.5.1.4 Experience and Training Requirements 22 11.5.1.5 Operating Rules 23 11.6 TV AND MOVIE OPERATIONS 24 11.6.1.1 Applicability 24 11.6.1.2 Certificate of Authorisation Required 24 11.6.1.3 Aircraft Requirement 24 11.6.1.4 Experience and Training Requirements 24 11.6.1.5 Contents of a Motion Picture and Television Flight Operations Manual 25 11.7 SIGHT SEEING FLIGHTS 27 11.7.1.1 Applicability. 27 11.7.1.2 Certificate or Authoristion Required 27 11.7.1.3 Experience and Training Requirements 27 11.7.1.4 Operating Rules 28 11.8 FISH SPOTTING 28 11.8.1.1 Applicability 28 11.8.1.2 Certificate or Authorisation Required 28 11.8.1.3 Operating Rules 28 11.8.1.4 Experience and Training requirements 29 11.9 NEWS MEDIA AND TRAFFIC REPORTING 30 11.9.1.1 Applicability 30 11.9.1.2 Certificate or Authorisation Required 30 11.9.1.3 Operating Rules 30 11.9.1.4 Experience and Training Requirements 30 11.10 PHOTOGRAPHY, SURVEYING AND OBSERVATION 31 11.10.1.1 Applicability 31 2017 \ DCA \ FSD \ MCARs Second Edition 1-G Part 11-Aerial Work 11.10.1.2 Certificate or Authorisation Required 31 11.10.1.3 Operating Rules 31 11.10.1.4 Experience and Training requirements 31 Attachment A Aircraft Operating Permit A-1 Attachment B Specific Approval B-1 Attachment C Terms, Conditions and Limitations C-1-3 2017 \ DCA \ FSD \ MCARs Second Edition 1-H Part 11 - Aerial Work PART- 11 AERIAL WORKS 11.1 GENERAL 11.1.1.1 APPLICABILITY (a) This part contains the requirements for those operators and operations that are considered to be aerial work in MYANMAR.
